I agree.
Have you really thought all this through?
You seem to be diving head first into being a rescue, and then spend your time asking a million questions that could have been thought about beforehand. The talk all seems to be about money, huge sheds etc, and not about the rabbits :?
It all seems rather that you want to 'glory' of being a rescue, constant attention to what you're doing.
Apologies if I am wrong, but that's how you're coming across at the moment.
Of course i have thought things through. I just thought you may have some interesting ideas for me to take on board, which i do believe alot of people on this thread have contributed to and I'm very grateful for that.
The talk of money is primary to rescue considering the cost of taking on a pair is £330 upwards including hutch and run, not to mention bedding costs and food costs etc. I would say this is major factor to be consider in rescue.
I'm talking of large sheds in order to accommodate a need for rescue bunnies that i have already been asked to take on and to help other rescues who have waiting lists that they are unable to cope with.
I am having to say no to taking on some bunnies myself currently, because i don't have unlimited facilities in place. I think the larger shed the better in terms of providing space and care for the buns. Would you suggest something smaller?
I spend all my days caring for rabbits , i often post about regarding rabbit care. I spend most of my days speaking about bunny's. I'm not sure as to why you wouldn't be aware of this?
I'm very confused as to your comment here regarding glory- I certainly don't need glory in the accepted sense of the word - as in admiration from anyone else, but if you mean a state of absolute happiness, gratification, contentment, then you would be right in that assumption.
To me working with animals in any capacity brings me huge amounts of happiness and I'm honored to work with animals in rescue. As for desiring admiration or praise in the sense of the word glory i imagine you mean, I certainly have no desire for that.
I get all the attention and love i need from my other half and don't need to use rescue as an excuse for me to be loved and worshiped. In fact if anything i prefer to hide in the shadows and let someone else take the credit and stand in the limelight
I do know people who do need praise in order to get through there day- i am certainly not one of them. I praise myself enough- I've a very high value of myself in that respect and don't need someone else to tell me how great i am for me to feel better etc etc- i already love myself very much.
Of course I've got my problems who doesn't but I'd certainly not be doing rescue to fulfill any kind of need i have for admiration as you put it. It is my pure dream and desire to save and improve the welfare of animals across the country. This may seem bizarre to most people- infact it does to most of my family. They don't believe in working for a pittance with animals, but i do.
I've always felt that doing what you love and being happy is more important than wealth- although I'd love to be wealthy also. I realize this isn't something that can be achieved through working with animals. My goal in my business consultancy is to make the kind of money i need to sustain my future dreams. I can't say i love insolvency even though i have a passion for business.
I apologise if I'm being short here- I'm just tired, but when you make such comments , I'm bound to react. I'd appreciate if you were more gentle in your communications.
I asked a simple question - "please list some fund raising suggestions".
I really have no desire to hear any negative views about what you feel my character to be or why or why not you think i may be doing something. I wanted helpful constructive advice not destructive comments.
I appreciate your a highly valued member of the forum and you should use that value to give compassion towards people who are trying to make a difference rather than rip them down at the first hurdle.
You may not have realized how much you just upset me- but i assure you, you did.
